Installation Instructions - LG LSC27914TT Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinking water line. Only connect to the potable water
provision.
1. SHUTOFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on
the line.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the valve that
is easily accessible. It is best to connect
into the side of a vertical water pipe.
When it is necessary to connect into a
horizontal water pipe, make the
connection to the top or side, rather
than at the bottom, to avoid drawing
off any sediment from the water pipe.
=
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a I/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the water
pipe (even if using a self= _1
piercing valve) using a I 1
sharp bit. Remove any burrs _ 1
resulting from drilling the _ I 1
hole in the pipe. Take care
not to allow water to drain
into the drill. Failure to drill a I/4" (6.35 mm) hole
may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
NOTE: The hookup line cannot be white, plastic
tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49499 or Cross Link
Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell.
NOTE: Do not overtight or you may crush the tubing.

ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the tubing between the cold water line and the
refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or
floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about
8 feet (2400 mm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10"
(25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to move
out from the wall after installation.
=
CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and
connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing
is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the
compression nut securely.
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp.
